  1. AR = androgen receptor, ER= estrogen receptor, PR= progesterone receptor
  2. < 10% positive nuclei used as cutoff for AR, ER and PR positivity
  3. ± Mann Whitney u-test for comparison of medians and Chi-square test for categorized variables
  4. Cases with missing values were not included in the analysis
